How to View Wood Design Values

How to View Wood Design Values

We have recently added a new View Design Properties dialog to allow you to now have the ability to easily view the wood design values prior to solution.

Solid Sawn Lumber View:

Wooddesign01

Glulam View:

Wooddesign02

SCL View:

Wooddesign03

Because the design values are dependent on the selected wood material and the selected member size, both selections are echoed in the dialog to verify the displayed design properties.

Wooddesign04

The displayed values are the values that will be used in your member design, therefore they are dependent on which design code you selected under the Codes tab of Global Parameters.

Wooddesign05

The values will be those listed in the Supplement tables to the selected NDS code or those published by the appropriate SCL manufacturer.

After solution, you can verify the modified design values in the member detail reports:
